Suicide Cliffs is a well-known surf spot located near Naha. It’s recognized for being the most consistent place to catch waves during the summer, but this popularity brings lots of surfers, making it pretty crowded. The spot gets its name from historical WWII events, and while the scenery is impressive, accessing the cliffs can be challenging, especially when it’s wet. It’s important to check the conditions before heading out; you generally want to avoid it if the swell is over 5ft (1.5m). Higher tides can lead to better wave conditions.

This place works best with a southeast swell and can handle swell sizes starting from 2ft (0.6m). Waves primarily break over live coral and come in as both lefts and rights. If you're lucky, the conditions can be really fun, especially on mid to high tides. The best wind direction is northwest, which helps to keep the waves clean and punchy. However, be warned that this spot is better suited for expert surfers due to its tricky nature and the sharp reef beneath the waves.

While making your way out, there’s a bit of a trek involved, but you can find an outfall pipe that makes the walk a bit smoother. Booties are recommended due to the reef conditions, even if you plan on taking that easier path. It’s a rugged spot that has its moments, just be prepared and pick your times wisely.
